Lubricant and lubricating composition

In diesel engines, soot is produced by combustion and enters into the engine oil, preventing the engine lubricant from fully exercising its lubricity. The present invention provides a lubricating composition comprising a lubricating basestock, an organic molybdenum compound (A) and succinimide (B) having 0.01 or less of an IR spectrum absorbance peak intensity ratio &agr;/&bgr;, wherein &agr; represents an absorbance peak intensity at 1,550&plusmn;10 cm,and &bgr; represents an absorbance peak intensity at 1,700&plusmn;10 cm,. Preferably, the organic molybdenum compound is the compound represented by the following formula (1) or formula (2):

Lubricating composition

There is provided a lubricating composition including a lubricating base containing an asymmetric sulfurized oxymolybdenum dithiocarbamate of the formula (1); a symmetric sulfurized oxymolybdenum dithiocarbamate of the formula (2); and a phenolic or aminic antioxidant.

Lubricating compositions

A lubricating composition of the present invention comprises a base oil for lubricating oil or base grease; at least one molybdenum compound as component (A) selected from the group consisting of a selected sulfurized oxymolybdenum dithiocarbamate, a selected sulfurized oxymolybdenum dithiophosphate and a selected molybdenum amine compound; and a (poly)glycerol ether and/or a (poly)oxyalkylene glycol monoalkyl ether as component (B).

Engine oil composition

A process for producing molybdenum oxysulfide dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) by reacting [A] an aqueous solution or suspension prepared by reacting (a) a compound having hexavalent molybdenum, with (b) an alkali hydrogensulfide or an alkali sulfide, [B] a carbon disulfide, [C] a secondary amine and [D] a mineral acid, wherein [E] a reducing agent is added and reacted at any stage, and a lubricating oil composition containing the compound obtained according to said process. MoDTC can be efficiently produced in high yields by using a hexavalent molybdenum compound as a starting material, and the produced MoDTC has low corrosive action, excellent wear characteristics and excellent lubricating properties.

Process for producing molybdenum oxysulfide dithiocarbamate

The present invention is directed to providing a lubricating oil composition which contains an alkyl group asymmetric type molydbdenum dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) as an essential component thereof and which exhibits far more excellent lubrication performance than a conventional lubricating oil composition containing an alkyl group symmetric type MoDTC conventional used in the field of lubricating oils. The lubricating oil composition according to the present invention comprises a base oil for a lubricating oil consisting of a mineral oil and/or a synthetic oil and having a viscosity index of at least 115 and a viscosity at 100.degree. C. falling within the range of 2 to 50 cSt, and a specific alkyl group asymmetric type MoDTC as an essential component.
